Technical Editing & Illustration for Quilt Designers

Every quilt pattern deserves to be accurate, easy to follow, and enjoyable for your customers. I offer a range of services to support quilt designers at every stage of the pattern-making process.

Whether you need a final check before publishing or help with the entire process from writing to layout, I can tailor my services to fit your project.

Technical Editing

I will help you ensure your patterns are accurate and complete by:

  • Double-checking all math (cutting measurements, block sizes, finished quilt dimensions).
  • Reviewing diagrams for accuracy.
  • Confirming fabric color/name consistency.
  • Verifying that all materials listed are used — and all used materials are listed.
  • Checking yardages and pressing directions for clarity and nesting seams.

I work with quilt designers, publishers, and pattern writers on projects ranging from single quilt patterns to full-length books. My services include technical editing, pattern writing, illustration, and layout.

My schedule varies, but I typically book projects at least a month in advance. Please reach out with your project details and timeline, and I’ll let you know my current availability.

Not at all! I work with both new and experienced designers. Whether you’re publishing your very first pattern or adding to your portfolio, I’ll help you create patterns your customers can trust.

Depending on the scope, I may charge by the hour or by the project. I’ll provide a clear estimate once I know more about your needs.
